Returning

Running and flying were loving

When you see a butterfly teasing

Or there’s someone accompanying

In catching all the memory from rising

 

Wish, there’s a time for sharing

More than just a good time in laughing

A bad time fully with crying

Or all the feeling from fainting

 

Words are collapsing

From lovers who are falling

Enemies who are arguing

And gods who are annoying

 

It’s not an easy  understanding

Still it’s not impossible for wishing

All the good things to be happening

Wait and see of His returning!

Your poem seems to be alluding to something, all along, instead of just coming right out & saying what's going on. I don't do well trying to interpret such a poem with hidden meanings. I do like your use of the "ing" verbs, tho it contributes to an overall passive voice . . . a good selection used to describe living life in general, embracing ups & downs, plus you're consistent in forming lines with these "ing" verbs.

Hi Barleygirl!
Thank you for your lovely review.
Yes, this poem is not a straight point poem.
I felt, there're lots of things have been absorbed in me that need to speak up.
Yes, those things are quite hard and emotional things, about our current situation (at least that what I felt/feel).
They frustrated me enough (still) to explain my feeling straightly.
And this poem's my first (real) experience in having Bible as my reference.
Well, I was (always) His tool.
Guess, the poem just had its time to experience it.
I am so glad knowing you enjoyed it in somehow... *wink

See you around!

You have made reference to the Bible in this poem. Not having a concrete knowledge of its content makes this poem difficult to understand and review.

It appears to be intimating about the return of the Saviour, and how His return will bring love and happiness upon the Earth. I am not a believer, but i understand the hopes and sentiments in this poem.

A nice poem, although it has been difficult for me to relate to and review.

Thank you for your review!
I don't see you have any difficulty in understanding this poem, thou. You are just doing great.
Yup, it refers to the Bible, but actually, the poem speaks in its words.
Again, thank you for giving time and taking an adventure in reading and reviewing this poem.
Really an honor!
